Ken - Proud Owner of a 2010 Peace Sports VIP 49cc Scooter

(Tampa, Florida)

Hi, my name is Ken in the greater Tampa Florida area. I bought my Peace Sports VIP scooter back in April of this year. I bought it because I sold my car in order to take a future job out of the country.

I have over 6,200 miles on it now. I am a heavy person and this has presented some problems with the fenders breaking off the little plastic attachements but I have enjoyed riding it very much!

My longest trip was about 30 miles each way. It will go 42 mph, however, I ride at either 30 mph or 25 mph, pretty slow but very enjoyable!

I use it almost every day since it is my only transport, I don't even own a bike! I wish I had someone to ride with that owns a scooter. I have not found anyone to ride with although I see people on them all of the time here.

I must say, I enjoy it every time I get on it. I am looking forward to talking with anyone about scooters as I love them! Thanks!

When you're done here, you may also be interested in reading some of these popular pages:

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
